The work plan for promoting the merger and reorganization of enterprises in infant formula milk powder industry led by the Ministry of industry and information technology has been prepared and submitted to the State Council for approval, the voice of China's national news broadcast reported Monday The plan proposes to integrate the total number of milk powder enterprises to about 50 in the next five years, and gradually cultivate 3-5 large enterprise groups with an annual income of more than 5 billion yuan Experts in the industry said that the merger and reorganization is the government's administrative policy rather than the free allocation of the market, and there is doubt whether the enterprises can form a good mutual advantage In addition, with the industry monopoly that merger may bring, the market will be more manipulated Sixty percent of the dairy companies were merged After the "matchmaking meeting" of dairy companies held by the Ministry of industry and information technology at the end of June, the merger and reorganization plan of the industry has been paid close attention to According to the voice of China, the Ministry of industry and information technology has now completed the work plan for promoting the merger and reorganization of enterprises in infant formula milk powder industry, and submitted the plan to the State Council for approval According to the plan, by the end of 2018, it is planned to gradually cultivate 3-5 large-scale dairy enterprise groups with annual revenue of more than 5 billion yuan in the industry, integrate the total number of enterprises in infant formula milk powder industry to about 50, and the industry concentration of the top 10 domestic brand enterprises is more than 80% The data shows that there are 127 enterprises producing infant formula milk powder in China, and the market share of the top 10 enterprises in the industry reaches 42% Once the number of enterprises is integrated into 50, it means that about 60% of the milk enterprises will be merged Zhu Hongren, spokesman of the Ministry of industry and information technology, previously said that the industry concentration is not high at present and it is difficult to improve production standards in a unified way In order to form a batch of production enterprises with brand quality that can reassure the masses, merger and reorganization are imperative There is doubt about the effect of administrative intervention "Merger and reorganization is an administrative policy promoted by the government, not a free allocation of marketization." Yesterday, Hou Junwei, a dairy researcher at China Brand Research Institute, said that merger and reorganization will improve the competitiveness of domestic dairy enterprises to a certain extent; however, on the other hand, the competitive advantages of various enterprises are different, and there is doubt whether good complementarity and configuration can be formed The original intention of the policy is good, but the result may not be ideal In addition, Hou pointed out that industry merger may bring about oligopoly In this case, the production, capital and management of enterprises will be strengthened, but for consumers, the opportunity to choose products will be reduced, which means that the market may be manipulated further "At present, the problem of dairy industry is that the competitiveness of domestic dairy enterprises is relatively low Compared with foreign brands, product quality and market reputation need to be strengthened Simply promoting market merger through administrative intervention can not completely change the current situation." Hou said Enterprise response: waiting for the detailed rules of merger and reorganization to be issued Yesterday, the relevant head of Heilongjiang Feihe dairy group said in an interview with the reporter of Beijing news that for merger and reorganization, major enterprises are in contact, and Feihe is also looking for suitable dairy enterprises for cooperation "Although all the major domestic dairy companies are talking about it, and there are many small enterprises throwing olive branches at us, they are still in the level of communication, and they are waiting for the state's further rules on merger and reorganization."
